People suffering from substance use disorders frequently suffer from concomitant affections such as other addictions, psychiatric, somatic or social problems. Clarifying objectives and priorities with the patient and coordination of care are the priority in the follow up suggested in this article. We present a clinical example in which the modality of care is adapted depending on the evolution of the patient's needs. The follow up by a general practitioner can be pursued in parallel to specialized care. The modality of this collaboration will have to adapt to the patients' and healthcare workers' needs. This follow-up aims to provide good quality health care all the while supporting the healthcare providers who can, sometimes, feel helplessness.
